LHC first official beam in the machine

The LHC ring finally had all sectors cooled to working temperature at about 09:20 CERN time, 08:20 UK time. The first official beam into a sector was at 09:38, which went into one sector. This was after a first attempt that was blocked by beam dump. 
The current estimate for real circulating beam is 11am CERN time.

More news as we have it. ATLAS is ready!
